I’m a librarian who doesn’t work in a library. I like making things. I love my family.
In Portland, Oregon today, I drove past a church-a church-that had a sign saying “It’s ok, Charlie, we’ll carry on.” America has gone insane.

The company I work for, that sells educational technology, has gotten rejected RFPs from TX and UT because of words like “diverse” in their proposals. “Growth mindset” was also a problem.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Hot take: libraries' newspaper access does a great deal to address paywalls. Everyone needs a library card, this is just another reason on the pile of reasons.
It bears repeating that shit like OANN, Newsmax, Infowars, hell even Stormfront, NEVER had a paywall. Meanwhile you get 2 free NYT articles per year if you create an account and sign up via email and start your free trial by inputting your credit card information and email activation code and
ok, my hottest hot journalism take is that journalism which relies on paywalls for funding and restricts access to those who cannot afford it or otherwise just cannot be bothered to jump through the hoops to read that content is not accessible journalism, and access matters a ton right now.
